Honestly, I would love to get into security. Too bad all the hiring managers pulled the ladder up. No one is willing to teach or train anymore even though they all had the ability to learn on the job. I tried getting into security, programming, and even sys admin positions, but they all require a ridiculous amount of experience for entry level. Even the internships I applied to for programming expected me to create fully functional programs for the interview. I have more than enough knowledge and experience for a beginning sys admin job. Even though my title is help desk we are extremely understaffed so I handle high level stuff everyday. I don't even get a response when I apply to those positions.
Also, it's true labor jobs pay well, but they have inconsistent hours and destroy your body. Our body's aren't designed for constant tool use. Vibration and constantly gripping things wrecks your hands. Lifting and carrying things is hard on your back and joints. Most labor jobs are 1099 positions as well so it doesn't matter if you make less than a full time minimum wage position would in a year, you'll still be expected to pay back over 30 percent of your wages in taxes. That's fine if you own a company, but it shouldn't be allowed for a general laboror.
I got a computer science degree because I got into computers as a kid and I was good with them. When I apply for a job it feels like like I'm competing with half the planet. It took 2 years to get the current job I have at an MSP and I've been applying for new jobs for a year now. I can count the times I've been contacted by recruiters over the past year on one hand. There's plenty more in my boat. If we'd known we probably would have had a different major.
I did labor before landing a job with an MSP by the way. I'm in my early 30s with back, neck, and hand problems now and pain that radiates into my hips and legs. You don't get out of labor jobs unscathed.
No, it was a super remote part of the coast of Maine. I was thinking it could be some kind of navy technology, but it's funner to imagine it was aliens.
I've seen 2. The first was when my girlfriend and I were sitting by the ocean alone after walking down a long dirt road. The sun had just gone down and we were just staring out at the water. We both see this star come up from the water then float around in circles for a few minutes then go back down into the water and disappear. That was about 7 years ago.
Also, last year I was getting off the highway on my way home and I see something huge just hanging above the river. It was just floating in place. There wasn't a quick way to get back to the river so I didn't go back to investigate, but I still hope I see it again one day.
Unfortunately, I've worked with a lot of republicans in my lifetime. Hating overpaid CEOs and thinking insurance is a scam are 2 of the only things I've seen republicans and democrats agree on. Good fucking luck convicting him.
The people who benefit from the way the world currently works will fight like hell to not acknowledge that there is any other way of existing. I imagine it was the same for women when they wanted to break free from their dependance on men.
Same dude. I was hired as a level one even though I've been in the field off and on for about 15 years. My company just hired someone over me who hasn't worked in IT since the late 90s. If you ask him about anything he claims to have worked with it, even things like CardDAV which wasn't a thing until 2011. If you ask him any in depth questions he brushes them off without giving an actual answer and everyone just buys into his bullshit. It's crazy how many people will take you at your word if you're a straight laced clean cut white guy.
I made fun of BotW when I first played it, but once I got into it I realized how great it is. You can't kill all enemies you come across right away. Much like Elden Ring you make a mark on the map and come back when you're stronger and you have better gear.
I got bored early on and traversed the whole map climbing each tower. In doing so I really fell in love with the style. I recommend everyone struggling with the game do the same. Open the map completely and explore. Later on it's super easy to raid the castle for infinite end game gear.
Allergies maybe? Most women use special makeup for dates. It could be something she's wearing like lipstick. It could be something in the food like peanuts or olive oil.
